Sleeping Women

3/9/2014

Picture
Have you had a time in your life when you were asleep?
And then you woke up?
You woke up and you changed....
yourself or something in your life.
If someone gave you the opportunity today,
right now, 
to wake up and change something,
what would that SOMETHING be?
The only limit is the sky!


On International Womens Day... remembering the Chinese proverb
 "When sleeping women wake, mountains move!"


Check out the Happy Book here

Love that quotation, Martine. Hopefully we're all moving mountains,even if we do it in slow, methodical stages.
All the best,
Mairead
